Cluster Front line demonstrations (CFLD) were conducted during 2017-18 and 2018-19 by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kurukshetra to compare the yield gap and net return between demonstrated farmers field and traditional farmers practice under irrigated condition. Yield of mustard was found higher in demonstrated farmers field over traditional farmer practices. The average yield of mustard var. RH-0749 was recorded 17.80 and 18.80 q/ha during both the year under studied respectively. Technology gap 10.95 and 9.95, extension gap 02.20 and 03.60 and technology index percent 38.09 and 34.61 was recorded during 2017-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The cost benefit ratio was found better in demonstrated field over farmer practices during both the years under studied. The yield and net return gap between demonstrated field and farmer practices was due to the farmer had not applied the scientific technology as mentioned in package of practices published by CCSHAU, Hisar from seed treatment to final maturity period of crop
